MRE's in the resturants, that will be a winner.
How about the "We have to close the park until congress approves the budget" excuse every October.

The Army is considering a proposal to allow a private developer to build a military-themed park that would include Cobra Gunship rides and bars including a "1st Division Lounge."

Do you suppose that they will have the Martin Sheen protest village attraction? Bring the wife! Bring the kids! Spend all day protesting something you don't understand!

The John Kerry - Swift Boat Water Ride, change directions in a heartbeat, and get all wet.
Terry - you get to come up with a ride for RL, he screamed at you. If you pilot the bird, I'll run the door gun!!!!
Hanoi Jane dunking/drowning booth?
I'd stand in line for several hours for that attraction. Of course, Vets first...

LOL!
Ooh, ooh, ooh...
Then the Navy can have a giant water park next to it (like Seaworld or something)with a little USMC petting zoo inside of it (the donkey show doesn't nesecarilly have to be part of it). The airforce can just have a sexual harrasment awareness workshop with an ongoing blood drive. Volunteers needed.
The Coast Guard can have their own theme park too, but nobody will know how to get to it and there will be no advertising for it, until the Discovery channel special on it comes out. :D

And of course, the museum will get lost in all of rides and crap and no one will visit, and soon it's doors will close, enabling yet another lameass ride to be built in it's place....
sheeeesh...
Can't they just leave it as a museum? Put in some really good interactive static displays and bring in traveling stuff from all over the world? Why they have to go and destroy a museum with pap for the sheeple...

When did the DoD get brains? We definitely do not need another military themed Amusement park - we have a few already - Ft Benning, Ft Bragg.....

Just as long as it's air conditioned. And has a decent per diem rate.
